A man lives in the world and the development of his personality is dependent on his environment. We are formed by individual cells of the society and the recognition is the way how they accept us, how we perceive ourselves. Our personalities, our identities are influenced by education offered to us by our environment which has been to some extend chosen by us, by educational system and legal environment. The others are significant to us - they influence the way we see the world and it is questionable how our own identities are influenced by us. We live in a world, which is dependent on a dialogue. Our perception of the world is not the only one and therefore we meet various perspectives how to look at different cultures and eventually on their rights, as well. In spite of us admitting individual differences, we accept antidiscrimination measures and laws that only get the bred in danger under protection but in no way do they create conditions for reasons why we should respect the others. In spite of us inspiring and enriching our perspectives, we only seek universal features which can eventually justify whatever of our interventions into cultures which we do not understand at all. A dialogue must be based on the recognition, including recognition of the rights.

This paper looks at selected one-sided pro-kremlin websites in Slovakia through thematic discursive analysis. Enforcement of one-sided propagandistic thoughts and opinions, primarily through freely available internet media, has become one of the most important aspects of hybrid warfare in today's world. The aim of this paper was to identify the specific goals of Russian propaganda and to clarify in what ways through language resources is propaganda spread on pro-kremlin websites. The results of the analysis are interpreted and word resources used by these websites are presented at the end of the paper. The results prove that pro-kremlin disinformation websites use word and language manipulation which helps in the acceptance and spreading of unilaterally focused and distorted information in Slovakia. The paper is trying to continue and complement current researches devoted to the problematic of pro-kremlin websites in central Europe.

This study takes a closer look at the kind of power that is used by one country in order to achievement of its aims in another country abroad. This is the phenomenon of “soft power”, which is presented in this study in a different dimension. In the literature, the term of “soft power” is usually associated with the Western world, culture, attractions and no constraint and coercion. This paper exposes the role of the Patriarchate of Moscow in the Kremlin foreign policy toward Ukraine. Russian Orthodox Church as an institute is increasingly becoming an obedient weapon of the Russian concept of “soft power” that in the hands of the current Russian political leaders is taking on growing dimensions and dangerous forms. The authors point out that the religious concept of “soft power” is different significantly compared to the American (the West) model of the “soft power” and present specific activities pro-Russian religious organizations under the auspices of Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine. A success or failure of this kind of Russian soft power is subsequently evaluated in the conclusion.

Th e aim of this study was to explore the reasons why the United States supported the pro-Western candidate for Venezuelan President Juan Guaidó in January 2019. To achieve this goal, Walt’s balance of threat was employed. This theory assumes that states try to balance potential threats. The study concludes that the United States felt threatened by Russia’s recent actions in Venezuela and the entire Latin American region. Therefore, the United States imposed sanctions on Maduro’s regime and successfully balanced the international system through international organisations. Th is case study serves as a good example of how balance of threat theory can be used.
